Griffith is easily one of the most despised villains in the anime game, with the antagonist of Berserk continuing to play a major role in the series’ comeback as Berserk releases new chapters from writer Koji Mori and the artists of Studio Gaga. While Griffith has always been hated by the majority of fans, the latest chapter of the series really takes the cake for many readers of Berserk as the White Hawk has infiltrated Elfheim and taken a major character as his prisoner.

For those who might not be familiar with why Griffith is so hated, it’s thanks to his journey with Guts, Casca, and the other members of the Band of the Hawk. Working to rule a kingdom of his own, the man known as the White Hawk was offered an opportunity that he felt was too good to pass up. A demonic quartet of all-powerful beings known as the Godhand offered Griffith the opportunity to not just gain his kingdom, but also receive god-like power if he were to sacrifice all of his friends in the process. Griffith accepted, leaving only Guts and Casca alive while the world descended into more of a supernatural state.
The latest chapter ends with Griffith capturing Casca, proving that the former leader of the Band of the Hawk knows precisely how to get under the skin of fans.
